The connection was there
And he could stop there
But he did not stop there.
Step by step he strengthened that connection and now as he learns Etherna knowledge, that connection goes skin deep.
"And now, it is too late to sever it" he mutters to himself.
Even though he is walking among the crowd, and he hears the voices, the conversation around him, no one notices him like he is not there, separated by an entire dinsion
As for the plan that he had made, he was planning to go to Sasha to stop the whole thing.
He could not help but sigh.
Sasha has her own difficulties and Wang Jian also have the sa.
But human hearts are really.... Sasha is not a block of stone neither is Wang Jian. They are human. And humans have desire.
Things moves because of desire and things are destroyed because of desire.
They both are loyal to him but now that he is not there, these loyal people are tearing each other apart.
Sasha wanted to strengthen central authority because she thought doing this would help him. A problem of loyalty, especially this kind of benevolent loyalty towards him is not sothing he wanted but at the sa ti, he could not condemn Sasha for doing it
Because he knows that it co from a good place. But sotis the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
he never intended to strengthen the central authority and he never even cares whether the central authority is strengthened or not
Because he understood what Sasha didn't understood.
He is the central authority.
But maybe it is not that Sasha didn't understand. She probably understand it and do it anyway because she needed the power to do things.
Twenty years of governing the world with his clone, Sasha probably understand sothing about herself.
That she is not him.
If the secret of his clone is only known to Sasha, she probably could make everyone obey.
But Wang Jian and the important figure of Pandemonium also knows about his clone so she could not order those people relying on his words
Because they know that the words of Death Monarch is not really Death Monarch words but Sasha words.
Did Azief not think of that when he gave the control of the clone to Sasha? He did think of it but still chooses to inform the others
Because powers could corrupt people. Good people have been led astray when there is nothing that could hold them back
Those who could still maintain self-control after reaching the top are incredible people. It is easy to be kind when you are powerless, and it is easy to control your desire when your capacity is low.
But when you are powerful and your capacity of gaining things are high, controlling your desire is not as easy as in the past.
If no one knows about the true identity of his clone, then Sasha might be led astray. No matter what he chooses, there is pros and cons so he choose the thods the thod that is least damaging.
And because of that, he planted the seed of today problem. If he choose a different path, will there be no problem?
No, Azief is quite sure if he chooses a different path, another problem would pop up which requires different thod to solve
And then there is Wang Jian
Wang Jian on the other hand guess that this is not sothing that Azief wanted and so he would oppose Sasha.
The more he opposes, the more Sasha is fearful of the power of the vassal kings. It is a destructive cycle
Because Sasha is not him.
He never have to fear Wang Jian because he knows for a fact Wang Jian is loyal. The other two vassal kings might not be as loyal as Wang Jian but they would not betray him and ruins their future
However, loyalty to him does not an loyalty to Sasha. It does not an loyalty to the -central governnt.
And in twenty years, Sasha needed power to do things.
Azief was never interested in trying to centralize power because this world is quite different from the world before the Fall
Each place and each regi should adapt according to the changes in the circumstances.
Azief also knows that he would not die for tens of thousands of years so there is no need to worry about thing like Wang Jian rebellion.
Even if Wang Jian wanted to rebel, Azief did not care that much
Azief has this kind of indifference.
No, to be more accurate, it is not indifference.
But lack of attachnt to Pandemonium.
He does care about the people of Pandemonium but he clearly doesn't care as much as Sasha, Wang Jian and the others.
This has sothing to do with the fact that he was the one protecting Pandemonium and not the other way around and also because he is rarely on Earth.
And when he is on Earth, it is not like he spends ti ion Pandemonium with the people
Azief is not exactly a people-oriented leader but this did not an his policy is oppressing the
people.
In a world where everyone could beco gods, trying to regulate too many things is restrictive and counterproductive.
They are given more freedom which leads to more chaos but at the sa ti there is not much oppression.
But this resulted in lack of order. And probably that is the core conflict between Sasha and
Wang Jian.
One who wanted order, and one who wanted it to flow naturally.
What is strange is that it is Sasha that wanted more order, and it is Wang Jian who seem to be advocating for less power of the central governnt.
Because to Wang Jian, it might eb fine if its Death Monarch controlling the Central authority
but it is not your turn Sasha to hold it for him
The things is, they are doing it both under his na.
he never wanted Sasha to go that far and he never wanted Wang Jian to be so loyal that he
would call the three armies to fight a battle with Sasha.
Things have gone to this point so of course, Azief had to stop it now
Maybe, this is the feeling of God when people uses His na to things, he never intended
people to use.
The feeling is very.... disgusting to say the least
Azief however did not think of this matter too much. Instead, he keeps on walking along the
roads.
Sotis he would look on the ground. Others could only see the beautiful roads with Roman aesthetic but Azief could see the magic embedded in every stone and the formation that is laid down beneath the road.
His eyes could see thought this magical warding's and he could not help but think this must be Sasha handiwork. There is a formation to protect the city which is now up and running
above his head but he never did extend the formation to below the road
this would take at least ten years to build.
Azief is right now inside the capital city of Pandemonium.
It is larger than he rembers.
The city line has also been expanded
there is more industries and there is even more people.
This city has its own beauty. Only flying around is not allowed here. Only in ergency you
could fly away.
There is even a teleportation port and teleportation booth provided.
For people who wanted to fly out, there is a flying port on the side of the wall of the city.
So things that was not regulated before has been regulated and so this that did not exist
before now have existed.
Even in tis of a civil war, the people here did not even seem to care that there is three
armies camping out of the city
The city is so big that even if the three armies attack the city, one part of the city is so far away
from the other part of the city that one might not even feel the impact of the war until the invading army cos inside.
But from what Azief gathered most of them did not worry that much because this internal conflict would not reach the point where they would kill each other
Azief however is not that optimistic.
"People hearts are very hard to predict"
"Even Heavenly Will is not this hard to predict" Azief thought to himself.
Actually, he was heading to Pandemonium as fast as he could.
But there was disturbance before he ca.
And there is sothing that he had to settle before he cos into pandemonium. And after
that, he decided to see whether what he did have a change.
And who did Azief t?
The Heavenly Will. Azief rembers it. When he was out and he was heading to Pandemonium, the closer he
ca, the stronger the pressure of the world on his body.
It did not take him long to guess who is playing tricks on him
The Heavenly Will wanted to compete with him
